Ngokusho kwemibiko yabezindaba yangaphandle, ukuze kubonwe kangcono ikusasa lokufakwa kukagesi, ngo-June 10 isikhathi sendawo, i-NanoGraf, inkampani ye-battery ethuthukisiwe, yathi ikhiqize ibhethri ye-lithium-ion ephezulu kakhulu emhlabeni wonke engu-18650 cylindrical lithium-ion, eyenziwe. kusuka kukhemikhali yebhethri evamile Uma kuqhathaniswa nebhethri eliqediwe, isikhathi sokusebenza singanwetshwa ngo-28%.

Ngokusekelwa uMnyango Wezokuvikela wase-US nezinye izinhlaka, ithimba le-NanoGraf lososayensi, ochwepheshe nonjiniyela likhiphe ibhethri ye-silicon anode enamandla angu-800 Wh/L, engasetshenziswa ku-electronics abathengi, izimoto zikagesi, namasosha empini. Izisetshenziswa njll zinikeza izinzuzo ezinkulu.

UDkt. Kurt (Chip) Breitenkamp, ​​uMongameli we-NanoGraf, uthe: “Lena impumelelo embonini yebhethri. Manje, ukuminyana kwamandla ebhethri kuzinzile, futhi kukhuphuke ngo-8% kuphela eminyakeni eyi-10 edlule. Ukukhula kwe-10% kuzuzwe ngaphakathi kwe-China. Leli inani lentsha elingabonakala kuphela ngobuchwepheshe obuzuzwe iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-10."

Ezimotweni zikagesi, ukukhathazeka kwamakhilomitha kuyisithiyo esikhulu ekuthathweni kwazo ngesilinganiso esikhulu, futhi elinye lamathuba amakhulu ukuhlinzeka ngamabhethri anamandla aphezulu. Ubuchwepheshe obusha bebhethri be-NanoGraf bunganika amandla izimoto zikagesi ngokushesha. Isibonelo, uma kuqhathaniswa nezimoto zamanje ezifanayo, ukusebenzisa amabhethri e-NanoGraf kunganweba impilo yebhethri ye-Tesla Model S cishe ngo-28%.

Ngaphezu kwezicelo zezentengiso, amabhethri e-NanoGraf nawo angathuthukisa kakhulu ukusebenza kwemishini yezempi ye-elekthronikhi ethwelwe amasosha. Amasosha ase-US aphatha amabhethri e-lithium-ion angaphezu kwamaphawundi angu-20 lapho ezulazula, ngokuvamile elandela izivikelo zomzimba. Ibhethri le-NanoGraf linganweba isikhathi sokusebenza sezinto zokusebenza zamasosha aseMelika futhi linciphise isisindo sephakethe lebhethri ngaphezu kuka-15%.

Ngaphambi kwalokhu, inkampani yabhekana nenkathi yokukhula ngokushesha. Ngonyaka odlule, uMnyango Wezokuvikela wase-US uklomelise i-NanoGraf US$1.65 million ngezimali zokuthuthukisa amabhethri e-lithium-ion ahlala isikhathi eside ukuze asebenzise imishini yezempi yase-US. Ngo-2019, abakwaFord, iGeneral Motors kanye neFCA bakha i-American Automotive Research Council futhi banikeza inkampani u-$7.5 million wokucwaninga nokuthuthukiswa kwamabhethri ezimoto zikagesi.
